After the Digg Spy ajaxifying , Digg is loaded with AJAX Comment System
Ajaxian »
Kevin Rose and the Digg.com team released a new screencast that gives us a glimpse of a new comment system over at Digg.
The new system uses script.aculo.us effects to wipe in and out threaded comments, letting you rate each comment with the simple TiVo-esque thumbs up and down.
I’m trying to implement Brett’s AJAX tutorial on my blog, but coming up empty. ;( I’m not a very technical user, but I thought I put every line of code where it needed to be, but alas, nothing’s changed. My comments still work as they did, despite all the updates, rebuilds, etc. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Could anybody give me a helping hand? It must be something simple I’m overlooking.
Contrary to popular belief, the end of the year is one of the best times to look for, awesome descion
anti-digg would be a good idea… I’m just so sick of comments that have no value to anyone beside the poster.
- Just because you’ve seen it already doesn’t make it bad.
- No one cares about the score you got on the game someone just posted.
- “Funny” and “Dumb” do not constitute comments.
I entirely agree that digg is slashdot for the next generation. However while Slashdot comments can turn any subject into an academic/religious pissing match and make posters look zealots, Digg just makes them all look like idiots.
Totally…
Though, sometimes people’s reasons for not digging a story are valid and reasonable, but, lots of times just flaming… It’s the new slashdot generation. Maybe there should be an anti-digg button so people don’t have to say it in the comments.
Screw the AJAX, the biggest usuability improvement would be a filter for any “No digg” or “This is old” comments.
